Lima Museum of Contemporary Art
About This Museum
What truly sets the Lima Museum of Contemporary Art apart is its vibrant, modern energy that feels more like a cultural hub than a static gallery. Tucked into the artistic heart of Barranco, its bright, open spaces are filled with a dynamic collection of Peruvian and international art from the 1950s right up to today. You'll find everything from bold abstract paintings and provocative sculptures to immersive digital installations that challenge your perspective. It’s a place that actively engages with the community, making art feel accessible and alive.
Collection Highlights
The collection shines a spotlight on pivotal modern movements in Peru, featuring key figures who pushed artistic boundaries. Look for Fernando de Szyszlo's powerful abstractions rooted in pre-Columbian myths, alongside works by Emilio Rodríguez Larraín and other innovators who defined the local scene.
Visitor Information
Don't just wander through—check their calendar for evening outdoor film screenings in the courtyard or a weekend printmaking workshop. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon, then return for a completely different event that night.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a crisp, contemporary building, it features clean lines, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light that creates a perfect backdrop for modern art.
